Whenever I wonder where all my brain space went

Every so often I wonder where the heck all my brain space actually went. I look back to a time when remembering things was easy and think to myself, “what the heck happened? What is actually using all those powers of being able to recall things in my head that now can’t seem to recall if I walked the dog this morning or not.”

And before you go all, “but you complain about pregnancy brain all the time! Don’t you think it’s that?!” I have had this complaint for the past, say, 8 years. So unless I’ve been pregnant that entire time, you can zip that comment right up, thankyouverymuch.

I didn’t realize where all this brain space had actually gone until I was cleaning and turned on the Pandora station “Summer Hits of the 90s“. If you had any sort of formative years in the 90s, I highly recommend this station – you will not be disappointed. However, I think it will make you come to the same conclusion that I have been forced into:

All of my brain space has been used up by lyrics to songs made in the 1990s.

Yes, seriously.

You may get schooled by the acne-faced adolescents on Teen Jeopardy! nowadays but dangit if you can’t remember every damn word to “No Scrubs” by TLC. Or “My Own Worst Enemy” by Lit. Or “All Star” by Smash Mouth. You get the idea.
